I know the two don't always see eye to eye, but as I see it, except for the "getting credit" part, both are pretty much on the same team...

I guess that is where the NRA is rubbing me the wrong way in this situation. We are all on the same team, but one group is doing the work, and the other is working at taking the credit. I am happy to have multiple groups working to the same end. I would just like to see the group taking the credit actually do some of the work.

My hopes are this new NRA rep AND the NFOA can work alongside each other this year. The last fella, on his way out, pulled some under the table moves. That's what soured me as far as Nebraska and the NFOA and NRA are concerned. If we can get the rep and our people in a room and working together, it could only be a win win for everyone involved. I was impressed with how the 2nd A foundation backed us up in Omaha essentially behind the scenes. Helped us look better, and they got another win. If the NFOA and NRA in Nebraska could share the work and credit, we would be unstoppable!! We shall see how this fella rolls.
Dan W:
NRA did come to the table in the discussions with Omaha over the last ordinance the City council passed to fend off the lawsuit.
Not much was accomplished, but they did participate
armed and humorous:
My guess is that the NRA wants to use it's power where it gets the most bang for it's buck. That generally means the less populous states get the hind tittie. In order to get any real help in Nebraska from the NRA, we need issues or court cases that have national significance. At least, it seems that's the way it has been for some time. I hope things are changing for the better in that regard, and some of the comments suggest that they might be.
OnTheFly:
It does not matter whether we are talking about police force coverage, health care (private or government), special interest group, etc. Funds are limited and they will be applied to have the greatest overall benefit. So let's say that the NRA wants to focus on the larger, federal issues and let the local organizations take care of the state issues. That works for me. If the NRA had more of the "team" mentality, it would encourage and back the local organizations. Backing does not necessarily equate to money. It could be as simple as giving legal advise on how to thrust and parry through the legal battle. They could still take partial credit as a supporter of the effort. It would be a win-win for the two organizations, but the real winner would be the members and the ideals that are supposed to be represented.
